[Image ID: an original poem titled 'we shower together for the first time. poem is in a paragraph format. poem begins:

Don’t use soap on your face! / Okay, hold onto me tight while I squeeze around you / Shit, I almost slipped / Turn around, I’ll get your back / I didn’t know you had a birthmark there / I didn’t know you had keloids here / Pass the shampoo? / Move over! / Your eyelashes look so pretty when they’re all wet / You can only see my scar in the shower, for some reason / Close your eyes while I exfoliate your face / Better than soap, right? / I have water in my eyes! / I’ll grab the towel / Smell my bodywash, isn’t it so sweet? / I love it on you – very pretty and feminine / Smell my shower gel, isn’t it so good? / It’s sexy on you – very masculine / Here, I’ll wash your legs / We’re gonna be late! / Okay, I’ll get out first / I put your clothes on the radiator so they’d be toasty for you / Ready? / Step out into my arms / Into the warm towel / Let’s bring the water with us.

Misplaced Eyes, Lost Marbles

My eyes fell out of my head

And I don't know where they went.

I feel the floor in search of them,

I find my marbles instead.

I place them in my sockets.

And I can't figure out what caused it

But I can see again!

Yellow and blue and red and green

But not you sitting next to me.

I see houses, trees, tire swings,

The cold mirror floor cracking beneath me,

But without my eyes and only marbles,

My dreams become forgotten fossils.

My marbles don't show me my eyes.

I pull them out and then I search around blind.

And, of course, with you as my guide,

I finally find my eyes.

I place them in my sockets

And my vision is as clear as a cloudy day

Gray and grey and gray and grey

But I see you standing with me

Just like I had always dreamed.

Why find my eyes?

Regardless, I'm blind.

Then you take my marbles away.

[perhapsitspoetry]

I step forward onto the stage, I was ready - wasn't I? The ground sinks as I climb higher; I hear voices, but am too blinded to see the mouths that bear their echoes.

The light stings my eyes, the thumping in my chest begs me to run, but I remain rooted. Inhale. Exhale.

Transformation rushes over me as I morph into another. Passion; heartbreak, all of it fills my lungs and anguish bleeds out of my broken heart a voice screaming with yearning and regret.

The final pleas for love spill from my tongue as I shrink back into my own skin, but the story of heartbreak and wonder still resides within my body.

The Journey

Dark waves rocked the boat,

Salt corroded moonlit metal,

As it had the captain's leathery face,

'I'm headed for the new world,'

I'd said as I flashed my ticket,

The old captain had muttered in knowing agreement,

Like the ocean that gurgled below our vessel,

And as I stood, clutching the railing,

I saw how full the moon was shining,

Slave to it's orbit,

I shuddered at the thought.

strobing

strobing, my eyes blink listen to me, go uplink and ride the tatters of your mind imploding on the brink

do you count it out with me I want you to see inside

all the blocks that make up

can you see?

what I give away at zero fee

trippled over

rolling up and down Sisyphus hill

now look at me swallow this pill

full inebriated

and totally exasperated

my head aches and failing knees quake

broken from inside

[scriptastra]

[moonbutters]

Every damn time I read this

I feel like I'm chasing something that I will never get ahold of

I'm on the edge of crying

But the tears will never come

Like there's some sense of something close

A memory

A realization

I can't tell what it is

But it hurts

A distant pain

Why can't I see it?

Why must my heart ache

For something I can't comprehend?

Don't try to answer that

It's for me

And me alone

longing for something you can never return to

entropy of dictatorship

charcoal-textured clouts from the human nest of explosive knick- knacks now fleeting soot darned the heaven’s crest anti-rainy clouds my poor mother ticks somehow eerie like an old kitchen clock an old Soviet hoots in an ear wax church bless almighty God vast and dreary lands with delirium bless the tsardom’s porch and the court buffoons talking heads on spikes bless the arms and drones and the rampant postures of loyal goons old dictators are merely nature’s forces shock waves magnified through quiescent voices

Tea Leaves

The tea leaves you left me to interpret

I try to bring meaning to surface

they say stars speak of fate but I watched them disintegrate

in warm water and detergent ’cause I still wasn’t certain

whether the stars were predetermined or just a random occurrence 

of nature so I wait here in front of hot water vapour designing meanings on paper

for the tea leaves you left me to interpret

You haunt the corners of my dreams like unfinished poetry.

Not my tags, but a kindred heart.
